A women's town heritage walk
@
Christ Church

On this heritage walk around town, Allan Stevenson will highlight nuggets of Macclesfield history alongside stories of the contribution women have made to the town and the wider world.Featured women include early trade unionists, radical Chartists and influential Methodists. There are also royal connections including Queen Eleanor of Castile and, yes, Queen Victoria did visit the town (though she was a lowly princess at the time).And, of course, you’ll discover one of the town’s former popular entertainment venues – the site of the the ducking stool for ‘disorderly women’. Sensible footwear please.

Families recommends that you always check details of the event with the organiser.
